3. The Surprising Stability of Pink Lakes
Advertisement
Although one would think these strange ecosystems are delicate, pink lakes show amazing stability and tenacity. Though the intensity may change, these water features keep their unique hue across several seasons and weather. Over thousands of years, the self-regulating ecosystem found in these lakes has developed to produce a balanced habitat where salt-loving microbes may regularly flourish. Water chemistry, microbial populations, and ambient circumstances interact complexly to preserve stability. These lakes reflect the strong character of their ecological systems since they rapidly revert to their usual pink color even in the presence of dilution from rainfall or other external elements.
